Problems

Solution: There are \(87\) years between 1905 and 1992. Of those years, every 4th is a leap years, starting with 1908, and ending with 1992, so there are 22 leap years. There are 30 days between Apr 3 and May 3, 31 days between May 3 and Jun 3 and a further 23 days to the 26th. Therefore \(87 \times 365 + 22 \cdot 1 + 61 + 23\) total days. \(\pmod{7}\) this is \(3 \times 1 + 1 + 5 + 2 = 3\), therefore it is \(4\) week days before Friday, ie Monday.

Solution:

1. \((a+b+c)+(d+e+f)+(g+h+k) = 3n = 1 + 2 + \cdots + 9 = 45 \Rightarrow n = 15\).
2. Summing all rows, columns, diagonals through \(e\) we have \((a+e+k)+(b+e+h)+(c+e+g)+(d+e+f) = 45 + 3e = 60 \Rightarrow e = 5\).
3. Suppose that one of the corners is \(9\), then we need to find \(2\) ways to make \(6\) not using \(5\) and \(1\) (as \(5\) is in the middle and \(1\) diagonally opposite). Clearly this is not possible as the only remaining numbers are \(2,3,4\) and only \(2+4 = 6\). Therefore \(9\) cannot be in the corner or central squares, ie it's one of \(b,d,h,f\)
4. We must have \begin{array}{ccc} a & 9 & c\\ d & 5 & f\\ g & 1 & k \end{array} and so \(a\) or \(c = 4\). Once we place \(4\) by symmetry there will be another solution with \(a = 2\). So: \begin{array}{ccc} 4 & 9 & 2\\ d & 5 & f\\ g & 1 & k \end{array} we now see \(k\), then \(f\), then \(d\) then \(g\) must be determined, ie: \begin{array}{ccc} 4 & 9 & 2\\ 3 & 5 & 7\\ 8 & 1 & 6 \end{array} so our two solutions must be this and \begin{array}{ccc} 2 & 9 & 4\\ 7 & 5 & 3\\ 6 & 1 & 8 \end{array}
5. For each of the \(4\) possible placements of \(9\) there are two magic squares, so there are \(8\) possible magic squares, all related by reflection and rotation.

Solution:

1. \begin{align*} \int_{-\pi}^\pi |\sin x | \d x &= \int_{-\pi}^{0} - \sin x \d x + \int_0^\pi \sin x \d x \\ &= \left [\cos x \right]_{-\pi}^{0} +[-\cos x]_0^{\pi} \\ &= 1-(-1)+(1)-(-1) \\ &= 4 \end{align*}
2. \begin{align*} \int_{-\pi}^\pi \sin | x | \d x &= \int_{-\pi}^0 - \sin x \d x + \int_0^\pi \sin x \d x \\ &= 4 \end{align*}
3. \begin{align*} \int_{-\pi}^\pi x \sin x \d x &= \left [ -x \cos x \right]_{-\pi}^\pi + \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \cos x \d x \\ &= \pi -(-\pi) + \left [\sin x \right]_{-\pi}^\pi \\ &= 2\pi \end{align*}
4. \begin{align*} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} x^{10} \sin x \d x &\underbrace{=}_{x^{10}\sin x \text{ is odd}} 0 \end{align*}

Solution: \begin{align*} && p_0(x) &= (1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^4) \\ &&&= (1-x)(1-x)(1+x)(1-x^2)(1+x^2) \\ &&&= (1-x)^2 (1+x)(1-x)(1+x)(1+x^2) \\ &&&= (1-x)^3 (1+x)^2 (1+x^2) \end{align*} \begin{align*} && p_0'(x) &= 3(1-x)^2(1+x)^2(1+x^2) + (1-x)^3 q(x) \\ \Rightarrow && p_0'(1) &= 3 \cdot 0 \cdots + 0 \cdots \\ &&&= 0 \\ && p_1'(x) &= p_0(x) + xp'_0(x) \\ \Rightarrow && p_1'(1) &= p_0(1) + 1\cdot p_0'(1) \\ &&&= 0 + 1 \cdot 0 \\ &&&= 0 \end{align*} Notice that \(p_0(x) = (1-x-x^2+x^3)(1-x^4) = 1-x-x^2+x^3-x^4+x^5+x^6-x^7\), so: \(p'_0(x) = -1-2x+3x^2-4x^3+5x^4+6x^5-7x^6 \Rightarrow p'_0(1) = 0 = -1 -2 -4 -7 + 3 + 5+6\). \((xp'_1(1))' = 0 = -1^2-2^2-4^2-7^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 6^2\). Consider \(q_0(x) = (1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^4)(1-x^8)\), then \((1-x)^4\) is a factor, so in particular we know \(q_0(1), (xq_0(x))'|_{x=1} = 0,(x(xq_0(x))')'|_{x=1} = 0\), and so: \(q_0(x) = 1-x-x^2+x^3-x^4+x^5+x^6-x^7 - x^8+x^9+x^{10}-x^{11}+x^{12}-x^{13}-x^{14}+x^{15}\), and so: \(1^r+2^r+4^r+7^r+8^r+11^r+13^r+14^r = 3^r+5^r+6^r+9^r+10^r+12^r+15^r\) for \(r = 1,2,3\)

Solution: If \(g(0) \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow b \in \mathbb{Z}\). If \(g(1) \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow a+b \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow a \in \mathbb{Z}\), therefore \(a \cdot n + b \in \mathbb{Z}\), in particular \(g(n) \in \mathbb{Z}\) for all integers \(n\). \(f(0) \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow C \in \mathbb{Z}\), \(f(1) \in \mathbb{Z} = A+ B + C \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow A+ B \in \mathbb{Z}\) \(f(-1) \in \mathbb{Z} = A- B + C \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow A- B \in \mathbb{Z}\) \(\Rightarrow 2A, 2B \in \mathbb{Z}\) \begin{align*} f(n) &= An^2 + Bn + C \\ &= An^2-An + An+Bn + C \\ &= 2A \frac{n(n-1)}2 + (A+B)n + C \\ &\in \mathbb{Z} \end{align*} Consider \(g(x) = f(x + \alpha)\), therefore \(g(0), g(1), g(-1) \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow g(n) \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow f(n+\alpha) \in \mathbb{Z}\)
